Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened and salted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup walnuts finely chopped
- 36 Hershey's chocolate kisses
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar well until smooth.
- Add flour and then walnuts.
- Gather dough into disk-shape and wrap in plastic.
- Refrigerate at least 1/2 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove foil from kisses and insert one inside a ball of dough 1 inch in diameter.
- Make sure each kiss is completely covered by dough.
- Bake on ungreased baking sheet for 12 minutes, until just cooked through.
- Roll in powdered sugar after cooled.
Notes
- Use real butter – it gives the cookies their rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
- Chop the nuts finely – too large and the cookies won’t hold together as well.
- Chill the dough – it helps the cookies keep their round shape while baking.
- Roll while warm – coat cookies in powdered sugar while they’re still slightly warm so it sticks beautifully. If they are too warm the powdered sugar will all absorb into the cookie
- Double dip – roll them again once cooled for that perfect snowy look.
- Store smart – keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
